Healthcare tech firm Semler Scientific (Nasdaq: SMLR) announced plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings from 3,808 BTC to a massive 105,000 BTC by the end of 2027. The company targets 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 42,000 BTC by the close of 2026. If successful, Semler would control 0.5% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply.
To reach this goal, Semler will use equity, debt financing, and operational cash flow. The company appointed Joe Burnett as Director of Bitcoin Strategy to lead the initiative. Burnett previously held roles at Unchained and Blockware Solutions and began his career at EY.
Semler first bought Bitcoin in May 2024 and has since become the 13th largest BTC-holding public company, according to BitBo. Its move mirrors a rising trend of publicly traded firms prioritizing Bitcoin accumulation. Japanese firm Metaplanet also revealed plans to purchase 210,000 BTC by 2027, further fueling corporate adoption of crypto assets.
